| "My decade and a half of research into politically motivated prisoners naturally, yet unexpectedly, led on to the Peace Process. In this earlier work I was repeatedly faced with the human consequences of conflict, loss and choice, insights rendered all the more powerful - sometimes painfully so - by individual stories and voices. All too easily the passing years obscure or diminish these testimonies. This project will preserve them for generations yet unborn."
Se�n Mc Conville, Project Director, is Professor of Law and Public Policy at Queen Mary, University of London. Responsible for the oversight and ultimate delivery of all elements of the Peace Process Project work, Professor McConville brings to it the experience of more than forty years of funded research as well as wide national and international academic experience. He has published extensively, advised governments and legislatures on both sides of the Atlantic, participated in the work of the Council of Europe and, mainly in the United States, been involved in key cases in prison litigation, and constitutional rights and obligations. |
